3 iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: My grateful thanks go to my supervisors Judith Godden and Milton Lewis for their confidence and support through this project. The support of my family has been central too; my husband George has read drafts, cooked meals and coaxed me through the difficult patches; our son James did some of the transcribing involved. Colleagues, fellow students and friends have been supportive, giving helpful advice and passing on useful intelligence. To name but a few: the late Rita McEwan, Pamela Wood, Joy Bickley, Jocelyn Keith, Merian Litchfield, Lloyd Chapman, Ruth Rhodes, Cathy Coleborne, Biddy Welsh and Margaret Faulkner in New Zealand; Stephen White, Michael White, Lynette Russell, Megan Hicks, Louella McCarthy, Barbara Moritz, Orel Lea, Jan Cooper, Leigh Wilson, Phill Horne, Darryl Gauld and Margaret Cunningham in Australia. I am grateful too for Byranne Barnett s confidence in me to write about Karitane and for Vicky Samson s assistance, particularly on the topic of family home visiting. A big thank you goes to Enid Ross who has shepherded me through the Karitane records and artefacts she holds, providing cups of tea and sticking plasters on the way. The State Library s Oral History Librarian Rosemary Block was invaluable support in organising the oral history part of the research. The help given by the University librarians, particularly those in the Medical, Fisher, Nursing and Edward Ford Libraries was much appreciated. The people involved in the course of the oral history research were very generous in sharing their experiences, however some did not wish their names to be published: Vanessa Hawker, Sarah Walker, Paula Mason, Bea Harrison, Kate O Neil and Nina Long are pseudonyms. Sue Beck, Elizabeth Bolton, Barbara Kendrick, Beverley Correy and Marjan Erlanger also kindly lent me artefacts and pictures. Betty Congreve who trained in 1934 gave me her Dream Book and Meryl Caldwell-Smith s contacts helped date the passing of the Dream Book. Kim O Connor s article in the Wentworth Times produced many of the contacts in the Eastern suburbs. Peggy Wark, Coonabarabran s Baby Health Sister of forty years, gave a personal dimension to the workings of the Department s Baby Health services and Christopher Pearson confirmed that he was indeed a Karitane baby in People generally have been overwhelmingly supportive of the project. Particular thanks go to Judith Cornell, Cathrine Fowler, Gertie Angel-Lord, Bryanne Barnett and Enid Ross for reading drafts; to Jennifer Gamble who provided timely help with Endnote; to Sarah Murray-White who proof read drafts; Susan Quine for arranging administrative continuity and to Margaret Kirkby at SUPRA, the Sydney University Postgraduate Representative Association.

8 viii GLOSSARY Baby Health Centre. The Alice Rawson Schools for Mothers were the first such centres in Sydney. They were called Baby Clinics from 1914 when they were run by the State-funded Baby Clinics Board. The Royal Society for the Welfare of Mothers and Babies took over the management of the Baby Clinics in They were referred to as Baby Health Centres by Dr Margaret Harper in Nurses operated the centres with medical oversight. The Department of Public Health took over their management in In 1933 their function was given as the teaching of mothercraft and supervision of infants along the simplest lines. In 1964 their work was described as a nursing service to advise and encourage mothers in the care of their babies and themselves. It has developed from basic education in hygiene and infant feeding to embrace all aspects of infant care. 1 Board of Health. Governing body of the New South Wales Department of Public Health. The President of the Board was the Director-General of Public Health. Division of Maternal and Baby Welfare.

He described it as a new Science which deals with all those influences that improve the inborn qualities of a race; also with those that develop them to the utmost advantage. 2 Family Care Cottage. Centre providing additional support to families with children under five years who are experiencing parenting difficulties. They are set up to deal with normal family problems and they are orientated to behaviour management and socially based problems rather than acute physical illness. Centres are staffed by nurses and may include social workers, psychologists and voluntary parent support workers. Fifteen centres in NSW were listed in the Department s 1986 Guidelines for Family Care Cottages. 3 In 2000 Karitane operated family care cottages at Randwick and Liverpool. Infant Welfare Sister.

9 ix Mothercraft. Knowledge of and skill in looking after and bringing up children. 4 A much used term up to the 1980s when it was replaced by the terms parenting and early childhood care. In spite of its considerable usage there are not many definitions. The Lancet in 1915 gave this medical definition, a new word which has been felicitously coined to cover the science and art of safeguarding the health of the expectant, the puerperal, and the nursing mother. 5 Truby King wrote in 1918 The modern world needs stimulation of interest and rational, practical, sympathetic education and help in Motherhood and Mothercraft, without saying what it was. 6 Its all-pervasive nature is emphasised in this 1924 definition, Mothercraft covers the period from the time before your baby is born to the time he finally leaves your hands, a grown man. 7 In 1937 the NSW Director, Division of Maternal and Baby Welfare wrote this: The aim of the Baby Health Centres is to establish the fundamental of preventative medicine in Infant Welfare as exemplified by the term mothercraft. 8 Clements also used the term in quote marks A number of studies in various parts of the world have shown that mothercraft is a difficult quality to define but not so difficult to describe, correlates well with the health and nutritional status of children. 9 Mothercraft Nurse. In 1964 an Amendment to the NSW Nurses Act established a Mothercraft Nurse Register. Examinations were conducted by the Nurses Registration Board for the course they called Mothercraft Training Long Course (fifteen months). The 1987 Amendment Act removed these nurses from the Register and placed on the Roll of Nurses. NSW Department of Health.

The Royal New Zealand Society for the Health of Women and Children (Inc) founded in 1907, later the Royal New Zealand Plunket Society. In 2000 it was the nationwide provider of most well-child support services operating through nationwide branches. South West Sydney Area Health Service. In 1987, the Metropolitan Regional structure of the NSW Department of Health was abolished and its Area Health Services rationalised to create the South West Sydney Area Health Service (SWSAHS) as an administrative entity centred on Liverpool. In 1992 it was enlarged to include Bowral. In 2005 SWSHS merged with the 4 Oxford English Dictionary, draft revision Dec. 2002, OED Online, viewed 11 July 2008, < 5 Motherhood, Infancy, and the War, The Lancet, 186 (4810): F Truby King, 1918, Natural feeding of infants, Auckland: Whitcombe & Tombs, Herself, 17 September 1928, NSW Department of Public Health, Report of the Director General, 1937, F W Clements, A history of human nutrition in Australia, Melbourne: Longman Cheshire, 1986, 109.

11 xi ABSTRACT: KARITANE S CONTRIBUTION TO PUBLIC HEALTH IN NEW SOUTH WALES, This thesis is about the substantial service Karitane provided in the teaching of mothercraft to guide parents in the care of their young children in New South Wales. At first called the Australian Mothercraft Society, it emerged in New South Wales as a voluntary organisation in 1923, closely allied to New Zealand s Plunket Society founded in 1907 by Sir Truby King. Karitane was at its most active in the 1940s when it provided over a quarter of Sydney s residential mothercraft services. Its beginnings were overshadowed by conflict and the New South Wales Department of Public Health did not acknowledge Karitane until the 1960s. Until then Karitane was absent from the public record of services for mother and baby in NSW. Sydney s Eastern Suburbs community and the Karitane Products Society in New Zealand supported Karitane before it integrated into New South Wales government supported health services. Throughout it delivered on its aims of teaching mothers ways of caring for infants, disseminating knowledge about the care of young children and preparing specialist nurses. The main theme of this thesis is the moving frontier that is the boundary between the voluntary providers of health services and governmental provision of health services. Karitane s development has depended on the politics of health care at Commonwealth, State and local levels. The secondary themes derive from the competition for scarce resources amongst the professional groups involved; doctors, nurses and health service administrators. Karitane s experience has not been unique; it has followed a trajectory common to voluntary organizations providing personal care services through the twentieth century and it has conformed to trends in public health. Sometimes Karitane led the trends and sometimes it trailed; it adapted to circumstances but it retains a degree of independence. Shining through all the problems with resources are the human experiences of appreciative mothers who used Karitane s services and the dedicated staff and supporters who provided mothercentred help with the care of infants. The mother/infant relationship continues to be a central concern for public health. This study of Karitane gives a longitudinal perspective on the contribution of a small band of skilled people with a clear mission to provide services to assist mothers with their babies and young children.
